Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. All addictions need to start somewhere. As a FunTrivia newbie, I was almost lost amongst all the endless possibilities to write about, along with all the different challenges giving me more ideas.
You could say I felt like this eight-letter word when I started out, a word defined as somebody external to an event or group.
2. While writing my first quiz, I was worried that the questions were not up to the standard as some of the others I'd taken on the important website.
For the next word, drop a letter from the previous answer to get an adjective that means "celebrated for historic significance", and could be substituted for important in the preceding sentence.
3. After completing my first draft of my first quiz, I submitted it and waited anxiously to see if it would go online.
The process isn't that simple. My template must go through this six-letter word first before it can be placed online.
4. In due time, my quiz was edited and returned saying that it was almost acceptable, but one question seemed to be an outlier, unrelated to the others.
Just like here, in order to keep the story going, here's a word that doesn't fit in the story. Don't blame me, blame the English language! This five letter word means "one who shows excessive love or affection".
5. With one question needing replacement, I had to replace it with one that had a stronger connection. With the change made, it was back off to the queue!
What four-letter word can explain what I did to the question to make it fit in?
6. My constant paranoia over my first quiz and my new question lead me to bring my quiz back to shift around my questions in my quiz to better fit the storyline. What if the quiz gets rejected again? What if the editor doesn't like my quiz? All sorts of silly questions worried me late at night.
ADD a letter from the last word to get the word which is what I adjusted, but can also mean an authoritative command.
7. Success! All my fretting goes for nowt when my quiz is placed online. In the midst of my jubilation, I read a very pleasant compliment from another player who said they loved my quiz and hope I write more in the future.
Adding a letter from the previous word gets a word meaning someone that loves you.
8. With my confidence through my roof and a stadium full of screaming fans (okay, maybe a bit of an exaggeration there), the quiz factory that is me started up. Geography, General, History, one by one I conquered another category with a quiz. I built quite a collection of quizzes in my profile.
Add a letter from the previous word to get a word meaning someone who has a large collection (or collections).
9. When my imagination for potential quizzes began to wane, I wandered my way over to the author challenges and the Author's Lounge. The inspiration given there pushed me into categories and topics I never would have voluntarily gone to, and put new spins on subjects that interested me.
Adding another letter gets a word that means "the most dedicated, passionate members of a group", possibly describing me in the quiz writer's world.
10. While I'm not even close in terms of most quizzes written to some authors on the site, I thought this quiz would serve as a memoir to how I got started. This isn't the end of my quiz-writing career, and it'll go into my profile as just another one of my quizzes.
The memoir quiz won out over a book deal as none of the publishers seemed to respond to my emails (I wonder why?). Anyway, for this last question add a letter to get a specific kind of book with a flexible spine.
